This is where we stayed at.

Let’s see...Friday night...after my social dance class... Darren and I waited for Omar and Becca to pick us up at my house in the "LORD'S SLAVE" Civic ( Matt's stepdad is a minister and it was his car).

The drive up there wasn't too bad. We joked around to just about anything and everything and us four all had a blast. I don't think we've missed a single ethnic background that we didn't joke about.

Even though the drive was dark and scary, Omar hit 100 MPH a few times as the car started to drift...we didn't even feel how fast it was going due the pitch dark condition outside on the Interstate 40 Eastbound. We stopped at a super expensive gas station in the middle of nowhere for an emergency refuel and paid $3.25 per gallon. Furthermore, we continued our quest toward the Riverside Resort right next to the Colorado River in Laughlin after the LORD'S SLAVE was refueled.

Colorado River looking out to the State of Arizona.

Saturday, woke up around 10 AM and got ready around 11AM, went to lunch in the Riverside Resort where we stayed at (Riverside Resort was the first big hotel that was built by Don Laughlin who the city was named after). Then we went gambling at the BlackJack table and then onto the 3-card Poker. Everyone won a few on the BlackJack table (I didn't play). The 3-card Poker table was next, and this is where I gamble for the very first time at a casino for some hard cash. All I have to say is that I didn't do too well nor was everyone else...except for Kim...of course, she won at least 30 bucks here (of which later she won more too with it).

We then went back to our rooms and took naps while Matt watched his Astros beat the Cardinals, Kim took her nap, Omar, Darren and I enjoyed the History channel. Becca, Angelic and her parents went to the Ghost Town nearby for some sightseeing actions (I think).

Saturday night...we all went to the dinning place on the second floor in the Riverside Resort for some yummy prime ribs and all-you-can-eat salad bars. We waited for at least an hour and 15 minutes before we started complaining to get our table because it was sooooooooo crowded. After dinner, I followed Becca, Matt, Darren and Angelic to a country dancing club right inside of the Riverside.

Hahaha...all I can say is that I was the only Asian guy on the entire dancing floor getting it on! Man I made such a fool of myself trying to line dance at some of the harder combinations of moves of which I was literally dragged in by Becca and Angelic.

At one point, we were the only 3 in the middle of the dancing floor in the whole club line dancing...it's good that I won't ever have to see anyone that was in the club that night again. (Oh by the way, thanks to Omar for telling Becca that I know how to Swing dance after taking my social dancing class...hahaha...she almost dragged me out onto the dancing floor for that). Oh and also, Kim, Omar and Darren, I hope you guys enjoy my self-humiliating dancing that night. I hope I entertained you guys well. (Hip-hop dancing to the 80s music! hell yeah!)

After the country club, we went to gamble some more and I lost some more! Kim was still winning for some reason! It's her first time at 3-card poker too. Amazing I tell you, she keeps getting pairs after pairs, flushes and straights!

Omar, Matt, Darren and I didn't do too well at the tables...anyhow, we were just "depositing" our money for now...and in a few months we will come back and "withdraw" it...right? =]

Satuday midnight, after concentrating so hard playing BINGO...we were all worn out completely...We got a chance to watch Darren's feasting on 3 hot dogs, and drank 2 Coors beer after the prime ribs dinner...It's spooky and shocking how much Darren can eat and how skinny he is, my guess is that he must have a biggo tape worm inside of him digesting all these food constantly.

Next morning, we grabbed some breakfasts and headed back to Southern California. Went to Barstow and the it started drizzling outside. We were heading straight into a storm coming back to California again.

The clouds were so beautiful in the Mojave Desert.

Well this is once again a very abridged version of what went on...and as always for a more detailed version with more juicy details...you can visit Darren's Blog. CLICK HERE.

I took over 300+ pictures over the weekend...will post it as soon as I resize them all. With the help of Darren, I have some video clips of me line dancing too! How GREAT! I might upload those one of these days if anyone wants to see it.

So check back later...time to get some real rest in my comfy bed!

GALLERY WILL BE UP IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
